Chapter 34 Zhizhi tells a bedtime story
"I'm waiting for my sister."
The boy's clear voice drifted along with the evening breeze and entered Nangong Yao's ears.
This silly boy was actually waiting for her...
Nangong Yao's heart moved slightly, and her slender knuckles curled up involuntarily. Then she slowly raised her hand and approached the boy.
Nangong Jue looked up at her: "...Sister?"
"Lower your head and don't move." Nangong Yao spoke in a tone that left no room for questioning.
"oh."
The boy was really obedient, lowering his head and not moving.
Nangong Yao carefully removed the grass from Nangong Jue's hair while frowning and saying disdainfully, "Did you poke a weed nest? How come your hair is covered in grass?"
Young people are really concerned about their reputation.
Talking about his embarrassing experience, Nangong Jue lowered his head in embarrassment and stammered, "I accidentally fell when I came back today..."
"Are you stupid? Don't you know to look at the road when you walk? You're an adult and you still fall!" Nangong Yao scolded harshly.
Thinking that he had angered his sister again, Nangong Jue quickly and obediently clasped his hands in front of him and bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, sister. I will walk properly next time..."
He looked as if he had made a serious mistake.
Nangong Yao was already accustomed to seeing him like this.
In her memory, the words Nangong Jue said to her the most were "I'm sorry, sister".
Nangong Yao knew that he was very afraid of her.
Because she had disliked her younger brother since she was a child, and could even be said to hate him. In her eyes, every breath he took was wrong!
He shouldn't exist...
Pulling herself away from her thoughts, Nangong Yao's face suddenly turned gloomy, as if the tenderness just now was just a dream.
She said coldly: "If you know you are wrong, get out of here and don't block my way!"
Nangong Jue quickly stepped aside. He glanced at Nangong Yao's face and asked timidly, "Sister, how is Xiao Taozhi's father?"
"He's fine." Nangong Yao said coldly and left.
Only after seeing Nangong Yao's slender figure completely disappear did Nangong Jue breathe a sigh of relief.
Hey, this big idiot made my sister angry again today...
The boy was very upset.
Although his sister was as mean to him as usual today, she did talk to him and even picked the weeds off his hair.
To round it off, my sister does care about him today, right?
The more Nangong Jue thought about it, the happier he became, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
-
As night falls, everything is silent.
There was only a warm night light on in the ward.
Little Taozhi moved a small stool and sat obediently beside the bed, holding a fairy tale book in her hand.
"Daddy, Zhizhi will tell you a story to put you to sleep, okay?" Little Taozhi tilted his little face up and said seriously.
"No thanks." Lu Ting immediately refused.
How could she, a baby who couldn't even speak properly, coax a grown man to sleep?
Don’t let this get out and make people laugh to death.
What's more, this little guy probably doesn't even know how to read, so how can you tell him a story?
Don't fall asleep while talking.
Lu Ting secretly complained.
The little girl looked unhappy. She pouted her lips softly and threatened in a grandma's tone: "If Daddy doesn't want to listen to Zhizhi's stories, Zhizhi will go tell stories to other daddies! And then she won't want Daddy anymore!"
Lu Ting raised his eyebrows slightly.
He's only been gone for a few days, and this little guy has become so bold that he's even learned to threaten him, right?
Only a fool would be fooled by such a childish and boring provocation!
Lu Ting leaned leisurely on the edge of the bed, folded his arms, and waited calmly for Xiao Taozhi's next move.
He wanted to see what this little guy could do.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Taozhi really dragged over her little yellow duck backpack, stuffed the fairy tale book and her little pillow into it, and took away all the little white rabbit milk candies she brought for Lu Ting on the table.
Little Taozhi stuck out her tongue at Lu Ting, "You won't give your daddy Tangtang anymore, humph!"
Why is this little brat so stingy?
Lu Ting pursed his lips.
Oh, you childish ghost!
Just take it away and make him treat it as if it were something he treasured.
Lu Ting thought angrily.
The little guy clumsily put on his backpack and gave Lu Ting an angry back.
…
Is this guy serious?
But this person is unfamiliar with the place, where can she run to? Don't let her run into some bad guys and get kidnapped!
Thinking of this, Lu Ting began to panic.
He clenched his fists and shouted anxiously: "Wait!"
"What?" Xiao Taozhi stopped but did not turn around to look at Lu Ting.
The little back figure is very proud!
"Come back." Lu Ting said.
"Daddy asked Zhizhi to come back, not Zhizhi herself." The little guy frowned seriously, "Daddy, are you inviting Zhizhi to tell you a story?"
Invite a ghost!
Lu Ting's mouth twitched.
Why is this little brat still being so arrogant?
Look how spoiled she is.
For a moment, neither of them backed down.
Lu Ting's deep, dark eyes fell on the little girl's stubborn face, staring at her coldly.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Lu Ting scratched the skin under his eyes irritably, and reluctantly compromised: "Yes."
The little guy then came back obediently, put his schoolbag aside, and his face was full of pride.
Lu Ting suddenly stretched out his hands in front of Xiao Taozhi.
"What?" Tao Zhi scratched his head, his face full of question marks.
Lu Ting turned his face away unnaturally, hesitating for a long time before awkwardly uttering a word: "...Sugar."
"Oh," Xiao Taozhi took out some candy from her bag and placed it in Lu Ting's palm. "Daddy, if you want some candy, you can just tell Zhizhi. Don't be shy."
"Who, who is embarrassed?!"
Lu Ting was annoyed by the little guy's easy discovery of his thoughts. He defended himself confidently, "You gave it to me, so it's mine! What's wrong with me taking it back?"
Little Taozhi shook her head, tilted her head and asked curiously, "But Daddy, why do you stutter?"
Lu Ting: "...Children should stay out of the adult business!"
Is this kid addicted to dismantling his stage?!
He tapped the cover of the fairy tale book with his knuckles slightly bent, covered his lips and coughed twice, "Tell me the story quickly."
Little Taozhi's attention was drawn to the book, and her tender little white hands turned the new pages.
The fairy tale book still tells the story of the little eagle and the sheep, but this is a purely illustrated version for children to read, without any text inserted.
It seems that the little guy likes this story very much.
"Daddy, lie down quickly, Zhizhi is going to start reading a story~"
The little fellow's voice was pure and clear, with a hint of his grandmother's voice: "One day, the sun rose early, and a lamb was walking on the road. There was an egg in the grass by the roadside..."
The little girl's words were incoherent. She told a good story in pieces and there was no logic at all.
Lu Ting felt very tormented when he heard this.
never mind.
He was thankful that the little fellow could speak clearly.
As the story was being told, little Taozhi suddenly poked her head out of the book and asked curiously, "Dad, after the lamb raised the eagle, does that mean she is the eagle's mother?"
